Just wondering if anyone else has tics like this?I have the exact same tics that he does (Dave Pittman from AI last nght)! AND he is from Mountain Home, Ark...where I have lots of family and friends with Lyme.
Hmmmmmmmm
Here is the video http://bumpshack.com/2010/01/28/dave-pittman-american-idol-tourettes-syndrome-miracle-video/

He was a great singer too. He doesn't have any tourettes symptoms when he sings.

I saw him!! Thought the same thing. He's only about 60 miles from me. I know AR has tons of ticks... and wasn't he shown IN THE WOODS?

He sings great!

++++++++

Doubt this will be in Medical very long.

Wow - I also thought the same thing. Then they showed him going fishing to relieve the pressures of dealing with the disease - ughh he was standing in the high grass.

I guess those of us who have had to deal with this always look at it from this perspective.

All My Best!

I know.. but the mods have been sending a lot of medical stuff over to General Support.

If you're missing something.. go look there!!

I know my tics have gotten a LOT better with treatment! I use to wonder if I had Tourettes on top of everything else.
